OK, I think we've all had our fun now... It's getting late, and I don't feel like babysitting this thread. Redandwhite you need to get over your infatuation with Qwerty. Chisox05 needs to think before he types, but I'm sure he'll learn that in the future. This thread has lacked any real conversation since about page 3. And none of it was about the GM meetings. I'm closing it. If you feel there was actually a conversation worth having, start a new thread in the appropriate forum.

That one cost us 15.

less than 400 AB's /sorry.

I Think I did the same thing in the first bulls game thread too... I'm gonna start jinxin' teams on purpose.

I guess I spoke to soon.

last week, Bears = Not Worst team in NFL. This week, Bears = Worst.Team.Evar.

you hit the main ones. Those are gonna be the people who slow the market down.

Of course that's under the assumption that willie is any good, which is far from a sure thing as of right now.

I'd do Konerko for Kendall, but they would have to eat some of the back-end of kendell's contract.

Just pick where they are going. Person with the most right wins. Entries have to be in by 10:59PM Central time 11/11/04.

Surprisingly I'm not that down on Crede... If I was trying to build the best club I could for next season, I'd ship him out for whatever I could get, but I think he'll perform above, or at least at, league average next year. Then his make-or-break season in '06. That's when he either becomes a star, or just someone who's keeping the hot corner warm for Josh Fields.

Yeah it's just park adjusted ERA/OPS... 100 is average, above 100 = good, below = bad. http://www.baseball-reference.com/about/ba...y.shtml#special This season's stats for USCF may not compensate as much as they should. B-R uses a three year regression to come up with their park factor adjustments, so it will take three years to get a more accurate feel for how much of a hitters park the new configuration is.

he's got a high OBP.

No... See crede is still younger than "peak" age, but his three year trend is very disturbing. Three year OPS+ of 112, 94, 79 at age 26 and people think he's the future. Garland has a three year ERA+ of 101, 99, 100 at age 24, and people want to sell him off for a bag of peanuts.

or two

Three year numbers are the ones that statheads use for projections, or comparisons between 2 players(as opposed to one year). Trending down is a bad thing. Trending up is good.

Agreed we should target a guy like Guzman.. that's where it's at. :headshake

puerto Rico too.... I heard that there are lawyers disputing the disenfranchised voter from there too.

It's one thing to spew hate, and be largely ingnored. It's another thing to use it as a platform to gain office.

The reality is that the Big 12th North is about the same as the MAC.... Even if any of them ran the table and somehow won the Big 12 championship game, they would still be outside the top 20 in the BCS, and Oklahoma, OK St, Texas, and Texas A&M would all be ahead of them, and subject to being selected by a BCS bowl instead of the North champ.

But ISU is 2-1 against Nebraska the last three seasons... The pwn Nebraska.

NO... You have to be ranked in the top 12 of the BCS to go to a BCS bowl. /Drew Tate is good.

it was a $250K buyout. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?i...TC-DT9705204233

The nets are supposed to be terrible. WTF?
